Chapter 17: Educational Decree Number Twenty-Four

Umbridge discovers the existence of Dumbledore’s Army and imposes Educational Decree Number Twenty-Four, banning all student organizations that aren’t approved by her. This decree is a direct attack on the newly-formed group, increasing the risk and tension within Hogwarts. Despite the ban, the students are determined to continue their secret meetings. They find a hidden room, the Room of Requirement, which magically transforms to meet their needs. This secure, ever-changing room becomes their base of operations. Harry, now the group’s de facto leader, starts teaching his peers practical defensive spells and techniques. The group’s members are enthusiastic and grateful for the hands-on experience, and their bond strengthens through their shared defiance. The chapter also delves into the growing resistance among the students, as they navigate the increasing restrictions and surveillance imposed by Umbridge. Harry’s role as a leader and teacher helps him regain some of the confidence and sense of purpose he had lost over the summer, reinforcing the importance of their clandestine efforts.

Chapter 18: Dumbledore's Army

The students, now calling themselves Dumbledore’s Army (D.A.), hold regular meetings in the Room of Requirement, where Harry teaches them various defensive spells and techniques.
